But what about the differences between two students’ impressions of the same teacher?

The Pygmalion Effect (Rosenthal & Jacobson, 1968) Pygmalion Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824– 1904)

The Student-to-Teacher Pygmalion Effect Evidenced by Jamieson, Lydon, Stewart, & Zanna (1987) and Feldman & Prohaska, 1979)

23 My Study Questions 16 1. Do junior high school students’ first impressions of their foreign English teacher predict other students’ final impressions of that teacher after three months of classes? 2. Do junior high students’ first impressions of their foreign English teacher predict their own final impressions of that teacher after three months of classes? 32 27

Was there any statistically significant difference between one class’s first impressions and another class’s final impressions of the same teacher? p=. 293 p=. 257

How many students’ first impressions were how close to the mean impression score of the other class who had the same teacher?

Was there any statistically significant difference between students’ first impressions of their teacher and their own final impressions of that teacher?

How many students’ first impressions were how close to their own final impressions?
